Albert and Sharon provided great communication. Their second floor studio apartment was well appointed and supplied. The west end Molokai Kepuhi Beach Resort was a rather sad place, with over half of the condo buildings, restaurant, and all the shops boarded up an deteriorating badly. There is a small store available with few supplies. The pool is there, but it was closed when we tried to use it. Albert and Sharon's apt was fine, as was the building it was in and surrounding grounds. We had views of the big wave beach. The highlight for us was the wildlife - wild turkey, cardinals, pheasant, chukar, doves, quail, monarch butterflies, egrets, and I kid you not a herd of Axis deer that numbered 60-70 beautiful animals. The ghost town of Maunaloa was nearby, and two "rugged" non-swim-able in winter but pretty beaches, called Dixie Maru and Papohaku Beach. We enjoyed looking for sea shells. The main town on Molokai Kaunakakai is about a 25 minute drive away for amenities, restaurants and "hot bread" in the evenings at the fun Kanemitsu Bakery.

First, Sharon was an amazing host. Starting with pre-booking (when I wasn't even sure I'd be staying with her) she was very helpful, providing advice and guidance about Molokai. And it kept going after booking and throughout the trip. Any time I had a question about the area, she got right back to me with helpful answers.
Second, the place itself is great. Unlike many other properties in the area, this has been renovated in a modern decor - dark wood cabinets, stainless steel. It looks sharp!
Other comments:
- Bed was great. Firm memory foam. Seemed new.
- View was awesome (FYI - nothing in this complex is truly "beachfront" but rather it's set back about 100 yard with some lawn before the beach).
- As most places in this area I imagine, it doesn't have A/C. But we arrived to two powerful fans going that did the trick.
Thanks so much Sharon. You made our vacation to paradise a dream come true!

My husband and I visited Molokai for the first time and spent a few days at Kephui Beach Resort. Loved the "back in time" feeling of the island - understand why the islanders would like to keep Molokai as is. You travel here ONLY if you want peace, quiet and serenity. It is a beautiful spot of the world.
The Unit: Sharon and Albert have done a lovely renovation of the unit. The wood floors are beautiful. The bathroom modern and clean with a tub/shower combo & toilet in room. The sink vanity is outside the bathroom - well done!!. It is an end unit looking to the ocean and you can hear the waves crash!! It is small and cozy. There is no couch, just a chair next to the dresser/TV stand and two pub style chairs at the island. On the lanai there is a table with chairs as well. The bed is firm, lots of pillows. The kitchen runs along one wall. Cook top NO oven. Microwave - not convection. A common barbeque is just a ways from the unit. This unit did not have screens in some windows or at the sliding door, so we had a few bug visitors. NOTE: the sliding doors have screens in bottom portion, and above the doors in the vault of the wall - these do not close, so on windy cool nights - it gets cool. (also note that you hear your neighbors and they hear you. There is NO a/c. Not really needed as breezes are nice, but when there's humidity, there's humidity!! This is same for all the units I looked at. These are OLD units. Built in the late 70's and not the best workmanship from what we saw. At one time this was part of a huge complex of hotel & apartment style buildings. AT this time 1/2 of the buildings are unused and falling into disrepair. Very sad to see. HOWEVER, the part that is being used as the Kephui Beach Resort (that is a VERY loose term) is kept up, with lovely lawns and gardens. The pool is again, from the 70's. The buildings around the pool are closed up so it feels like you are post apocalypse down there (and around). Not necessarily bad, just be aware....
There are LOTS of trails to walk. The beach is lovely to sit on, watch the waves crash, watch a few surfers, not sure I would venture into it (maybe in the summer months??)
You are a good 25-30 minutes to a store of any kind so make sure you take provisions when going in. There is a small store there (open 9-5 every day) but more expensive than usual (and that's saying something because Molokai is pricey) but it has essentials (and a few non-essentials
